Chapter 13 Quickly Transmigrated! Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard Overnight (22)
In the following days, I patrolled more carefully, paying attention to every corner and every detail. During the day, I carefully observed the environment around the Shen family, looking for any suspicious signs. At night, I checked the surveillance video again and again, trying to find more clues about the shadow.
I began to draw a floor plan of the Shen family villa, marking all the surveillance blind spots and potential dangerous areas. I even sneaked into the backyard and inspected the height and material of the fence, as well as the surrounding trees and terrain.
During this process, I found that there was a place on the backyard wall that seemed a little different. The color of the wall there was slightly darker, as if it had been repaired. I knocked on it lightly with my hand, and the sound was slightly duller than other places.
An uneasy feeling came over me, so I took out my phone, took a few photos of the wall, and then gently scraped the paint on the wall with a knife.
After the paint peeled off, a layer of cement of a different color was exposed underneath. I touched it with my hand and it felt a bit rough, as if it was newly applied.
Could it be that...
I continued to check the wall carefully and found that the repaired wall was about one meter long and the same height as the other walls. However, its location was very hidden, just in the blind spot of surveillance, and there were some dense bushes around it, making it difficult to be found.
I squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground. At the edge of the bushes, I found some small dirt and gravel, as if someone had stepped on it.
My heartbeat began to speed up, and an inexplicable fear enveloped me. I felt as if I was approaching a truth, a secret hidden in the darkness.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Shen Haoxuan's number. After the phone rang a few times, he picked up.
"Feng Ziang? What's the matter?" His voice sounded a little tired.
"Master Shen, I..." I hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"What's wrong? You're hesitating."
I took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I found that the backyard wall seemed to have been tampered with..."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, Shen Haoxuan's voice rang again, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone: "Where are you? I'll be right there."
I hung up the phone and looked up at the repaired wall, feeling uneasy.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"
I turned around suddenly and saw Captain Zhao standing behind me, staring at me with a gloomy face. I quickly stood up and explained, "I found that there seems to be something wrong with the wall..."
"Problem? What problem?" Captain Zhao interrupted me in a nasty tone, "This wall is fine, what problem can there be?"
I pointed to the repaired wall and said, "This wall is newly built, and it's located in a blind spot for surveillance. I suspect..."
"What are you suspicious about? Do you suspect someone is sabotaging you? Is this your first day at the Shen family? Don't you know how strict our security is?" Captain Zhao snorted coldly, "I think you are just looking for trouble and want to show off!"
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of several bodyguards. They all looked at me strangely and whispered to each other. I heard someone say, "This new bodyguard is too eager to show off. He started to make gestures as soon as he arrived."
Another person echoed, "That's right. Captain Zhao is a professional. He didn't find any problems. What else could he find?"
I felt embarrassed and wronged. I did want to show off, but my motivation was for the safety of the Shen family, not for the sake of showing off. I took a deep breath, tried to control my emotions, and said to Captain Zhao, "I just found a problem and wanted to report it to Master Shen..."
"Report? What qualifications do you have to report? You are just a new bodyguard, what do you know about security?" Captain Zhao hit me mercilessly, "Just do your job well, don't worry about it all day long!"
I gritted my teeth and said nothing. I knew it was useless to say anything now. Captain Zhao was obviously targeting me, and no matter what I said, he would not believe me.
Shen Haoxuan hurried to the backyard and saw the confrontation between Captain Zhao and me. His brows furrowed slightly. He walked up to me and asked, "Feng Ziang, what's going on?"
I briefly reported my findings to Shen Haoxuan. After listening to me, his face became serious. He walked to the repaired wall, observed it carefully, and then looked at the surrounding environment.
"Captain Zhao," Shen Haoxuan asked in a serious tone, "When was this wall repaired?"
Captain Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly said: "This... I'm not sure, maybe it was caused during the previous repairs..."
"Previously repaired? How come I didn't know about this?" Shen Haoxuan's tone became even colder, "Butler Sun!"
Steward Sun rushed over upon hearing the noise, and upon hearing Shen Haoxuan's question, he quickly explained, "Master, this wall was indeed repaired some time ago, because at that time..."
Shen Haoxuan interrupted him and pointed at the wall and said, "This patch looks very recent, it doesn't look like it was repaired some time ago. Moreover, this is a blind spot for surveillance, isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Butler Sun's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head and dared not speak.
I looked at Shen Haoxuan, my heart filled with gratitude. I knew he was protecting me and trusted my judgment.
Shen Haoxuan turned to look at me and said, "Feng Ziang, continue your investigation, record all the problems you find, and then give me a detailed report."
I nodded, turned around and walked deeper into the garden to continue my investigation. Captain Zhao stood there, his face livid, and said nothing. I vaguely heard him curse in a low voice: "Damn kid..."
As night fell, I sat in my study and compiled a detailed report of all the security loopholes and improvement plans I found today. I checked it carefully to make sure there were no omissions, then printed out the report and prepared to hand it over to Shen Haoxuan tomorrow.
Just then, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Steward Sun came in with a document in his hand. He walked up to me, handed me the document, and said, "This is what the young master asked me to give you."
I took the document and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Steward Sun smiled and said, "You will know if you take a look yourself."
I opened the document, took a look at it, and was stunned... "Is this... my formal employment contract?" I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, and confirmed it again. It was indeed the Shen family's formal bodyguard employment contract, and the salary was much higher than what we had discussed before.
